Day 738

      Katie had a pretty good week.  Although she did have another low blood sugar this week, and that was disconcerting.  We have increased her daily steroid and we hope that will solve the problem.  We are glad she has been able to go to preschool and have fun with her friends.
     We are going to New Mexico for Fall Break to spend time with my mother and my family.  We are glad for the chance to get away for awhile and have some fun.  I found two quotes that I wanted to share this week.
    "In all conditions, we can choose the right with the guidance of the Spirit. We have the gospel of Jesus Christ to shape and guide our lives if we choose it. And with prophets revealing to us our place in the plan of salvation, we can live with perfect hope and a feeling of peace." (Henry B. Eyring, "Mountains to Climb," Ensign, May 2012)
     "We pray with trust for strength and guidance - just as our forebears did. That's what it means to walk with faith in every footstep. It was so for our pioneer ancestors, and it must be so for us today. We must instill in our children and grandchildren the same spirit that drove the footsteps of the pioneers.... We must ever be on our guard that we do not become casual in keeping God's commandments, in abiding by His laws, and in being honest and trustworthy in all that we do.... May we find the strength and courage to face our future as they faced theirs." (M. Russell Ballard, "Pioneer Faith and Fortitude—Then and Now")
